Matte hade ingen hjälp av lillmatte idag…så vi volontärade, Mille och jag.
Det skulle plockas fler björnbär nämligen.
More berries to pick today…and we volunteered!
Vilket vi ångrade bittert sen…för vi fick sitta under ett träd med obefintlig skugga – och FAST satt vi. Efter lite rekognocering satt vi ordentligt fast…snurrade runt trädet i värmen.
Which we regretted bitterly…because we had to sit there for ages in the heat…under a very, very tiny tree with a nonexistent shadow…
När matte sen blev NÄSTAN påhoppad av en stor grön sak (inte grönsak) hoppades vi att hon skulle ge upp och ta med oss iväg därifrån…
When our master was NEARLY attacked by some green thing, we hoped she would give up this project and let us go home…
Men det kvittade hur vi hoppades eller protesterade…
But no protests helped…
Till slut tog jag till en drastisk åtgärd…jag åt björnbären själv direkt från buskarna! Matte tyckte att jag skulle nog sluta med det, eftersom jag åt lika många omogna – och alla piggar också…
Finally I started to eat the blackberries directly from the bush myself! My master didn’t think that was such a good idea, because I got green ones too – and the small sharp things that accompanied them…
Då gav jag upp. Gräva är nog mer min grej…
So, I gave up, realizing that digging holes is much more my thing to do…
…och det tyckte matte också!
…and, so did my master think!
Och belöning blev det sen… vi fick också smaka!
We were ALL greatly rewarded in the afternoon, with blackberry cake and ice cream.

What a wonderful way to spend a day and such a treat to have as your reward. Love the dog speak narrative!
Thank you for a lovely comment! And, they do speak…
Lovely, it is a whole new experience to pick your own berries. We did it one year while Luigi was still young. He loved to run up and down the rows to stretch his legs.Was later to hot for him in the sun and he stretched out in the shade while we were still picking berries.
It’s great, isn’t it how they get used to this! My guys are used to wait patiently, but I guess this time they wanted to move on in the heat…
Heat is usually a problem for them.
It is. Shadow and water are good remedies!
I agree! 🙂
What a fun post, I love the clever impatient dogs…..they watched you picking and thought ”if we eat them off the bush there will be less to pick and we can get moving again” 🙂
Molly tries to eat anything she sees me picking….pea pods off the plants, tomatoes and basil from the greenhouse….even sweet pea flowers 🙂
Funny girl! Totti is ”mum’s boy” and he’s whining and howling when I am gone…I really don’t know how he turned out like that. I sometomes compare him to my son, who was just like that when he was a child…
Lol, they are just like children really. Molly is a mummy’s girls for sure, constantly at my side as I walk around, perhaps because she was so unwell as a puppy 🙂

Ha ha…antar att björnbärsris i deras päls är en intressant utmaning 🙂
Gott med björnbär..borde nog ge mig ut efter några liter !
Det verkar bli många i Blekinge också. I alla fall såg det ut så vid stugan för någon vecka sen. Konstigt egentligen eftersom det har varit ganska torrt.
I hope you were given double servings of icecream for your patience and assistance 🙂
Icecream we had…moustaches turned all white!
Excellent 🙂
